XJ 1861 Decas vs Herod

XJ 1861 Decas represents Xerjoff's more experimental side and was listed among 2022's worst releases by the community reviewer. While it has a devoted small following who appreciate its weirdness and uniqueness, most find it overly synthetic, difficult to understand, and impractical to wear due to extreme projection.

Herod is highly regarded in the community as a top-tier fragrance from Parfums de Marly, praised for its complex vanilla-tobacco profile, smooth character, and impressive longevity. While some users report moderate projection rather than extreme performance, the consensus is that it offers excellent quality, especially when purchased on sale, though buyers should verify authenticity due to counterfeits in the market.
